Sports commentator Gennady Orlov shared his opinion on the Moscow Spartak forward Quincy Promes. sports24.
Can Quincy be considered a Spartak legend? Of course not. A true legend is defined by a decade of service to the club, a standard that few meet. In Orlov’s view, legend status should come only after ten years with Spartak, a benchmark Promes has not yet reached.
Promes has racked up 205 appearances for Spartak and found the back of the net 102 times. He first broke into the Moscow team’s scoring sheet in September 2014, marking the beginning of his relationship with the club.
Promes returned to Spartak in February 2021 for a second spell after previously leaving in 2018. His earlier stint, from 2014 to 2018, included a highlight reel moment in the 2016/17 season when the Dutch talent helped Spartak clinch the Russian championship, underscoring his contribution during a successful era for the club.
Valery Gazzaev, a respected figure in Russian football who once led the national team and CSKA Moscow, has stated that Promes cannot yet be called a Spartak legend. The forward’s status remains open to debate among fans and pundits alike, reflecting the nuanced expectations placed on players within a storied club like Spartak Moscow.
